Abstract

The objective of this research is to compare the rail factor of user preference in selecting the mode of travel for a city with and without mass transport service. The difference in willingness to pay (WTP) between rail-based and road-based mass transport is observed through a stated preference-like survey. In the developed hypothetical situation, all possible attributes affecting mode choice, except for riding comfort, are kept the same. Riding comfort definition is limited to the vehicle bounce due to surface track and driver behavior. Valid samples are selected based on some predetermined criteria and descriptive statistical tests. Some inferential statistical tests are conducted to obtain a representative WTP value for both cities. The analysis shows that the collected sample is not normally distributed and not homogeneous. Since the WTP is significantly influenced by income level, the proposed value in this research is based on the different income group levels. The research results yield that rail-based mass transport is more preferred than road-based mass transport, and the WTP for the city without mass transport service is found higher than that of the city with mass transport service.
